I'm not sure if you managed to go inside the church however the attached photo is of the Roll of Honour and shows that Private J Ballentine served in the Army during the Great War (and presumably survived).

Thanks for your message.

I have now signed up to Genes Reunited and will look for your tree and Fergaine's. 

My Ballantyne tree is pretty much based on one I received from another of our "cousins" which, in turn, was based on Fergaine's - but that was about a couple of years ago so probably well out of date by now!

My Grampa (Duncan) inherited his Aunt Nancy’s farm and subsequently sold it to a neighbouring farmer.  I have a copy of the sale documentation.

In August 2013, I tracked the property down (it is not that easy to find as it is in a dip and hidden from view down a disused track).  It is in a sad state but you can work out where the houses were.  The location is just off Ballinlea Road, near its junction with Lagavara Road.  The following link should take you to the spot:-

I have some photos I took when I was there and am happy to share them if you are interested.
